Gareth Southgate’s Next Move: A Premier League Club in the Offing?
Gareth Southgate’s departure as England manager has left many wondering what’s next for the 53-year-old. And, according to Betfair’s latest odds, a Premier League club is the most likely destination for Southgate’s next managerial job.
After stepping down as England boss, Southgate has been offered a punditry role with ITV, but it seems his real ambition is to get back into club management. Sky reporter Rob Dorsett has revealed that Southgate thinks he can do a great job for a club side high up in the Premier League, a Champions League club.
So, which club is the most likely destination for Southgate? According to Betfair, Newcastle United is the clear favorite at 9/2, followed by Eddie Howe at 11/4 for the Three Lions vacancy.
But why Newcastle? Well, for starters, the Magpies have been searching for a new manager since Eddie Howe’s departure earlier this month. Southgate has a strong track record in the Premier League, having managed Middlesbrough in the past, and his experience as England boss could be just what Newcastle needs to take the next step.
Other Possibilities
Of course, there are other possibilities for Southgate’s next move. Betfair also has Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace as potential destinations for the 53-year-old. However, with Manchester United having just appointed Erik ten Hag, it’s unclear whether they’ll be looking for a new manager anytime soon.
The Search for a New England Manager
The search for Southgate’s replacement is now underway, with FA chief executive Mark Bullingham and technical director John McDermott leading the process. Who will they choose to take the reins? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the next England manager will have big shoes to fill.
